    The good thing is it looks like we'll get a fired up England 2nd half.

    Seeing the replay, does Tom want to take back the whinging comment?

    No because if he wasn't whinging England would have got back into position quicker! <laugh>

    I admire rugby players for the universal respect they always show to referees. However, that idiot doesn’t deserve any. He lost control once the first Wales try was awarded.

    He seems to be the Mike Dean of rugby. The way he spoke to Farrell made it clear he didn't want to hear from him.

    That’s complete bollocks. He was talking to his players, which the ref had to told him to do, and the ref didn’t give enough time for them to set for the penalty.

    Imagine a referee in football saying he wanted the captain to speak to all his players and then allowing the other team to take the freekick while the goalkeeper was still in the centre circle. That is the equivalent here. I think the England players were incredibly respectful.

    They have no choice - or they’ll be sent off. Sadly for me - it’s started an online spat with my friend over Brexit - he’s now saying that it’s all Macron’s fault FFS .....

    Farrell should have left that one to Daly, way outside his range.

    Decent kick but really should have been pushing for the try.

    Bit early. Just take the points on offer. Needed 2 scores anyway.
